    Watch it pal, crooks is the best pundit om BBC, only one that cracks me up, even if its me laughing at him!


    but what annoys me? TWITTER! the other evening we get the usual comments from Rio ferdinand....''that Ukraine forward is a tricky little customer'......yes Rio saying customer instead of player makes you cool and street!


    Then Linekar pipes up with his tactical observation on Walcott.

    Why do these players and former player's feel the need to log onto Twitter and make comments which they know will be picked up by these live feeds, can't they **** off and lead a life outside of the media even for one evening?

    Twittering should be banned!

    What's wrong with Chelski? Don't use it myself, but it's not offensive, is it?

    Have you mentioned your feelings on the Chelsea board. You'd antagonise most of them.

    What about Pikey for Fulham/Rangers. As a mod, you could do something about it?

    1. All the master-of-the-obvious comments that British announcers seem to like even more than American ones: "It's not over yet!" I guess that's why they're still chasing after the ball. "They need a goal!" Does that have something to do with them being one behind?
    2. Commentary as cliche bingo: the idea is if you just recycle a certain number of your favored cliches over 90 minutes, you deserve to be paid. "Inch-perfect...asking questions...running short of ideas...the game needs a goal..."
    3. Players pretending they're hurt. This should be punished not by a yellow card, but by someone hitting them very hard. They could then continue to writhe in agony for as long as they like, since they wouldn't be pretending.

    Pundits who put 'a' in front of proper nouns. Eg. "This Luton team could never win against a Bayern Munich or a Barcelona"

    All other ridiculous expressions and clichés used by fans, managers, players and pundits.

    The summer transfer window lasting three times longer than it needs to.

    Practically all my mates being Gooners.

    Injuries and bad refereeing.

    Sol Campbell.

    The new stadium being so slow to arrive.

    The cup not being magic anymore.

    Not giving a **** about internationals anymore.

    Hoddle not cutting it as a manager.

  12. So, basically any supporter of Arsenal, Chavs or United post 1990 who isn't a resident within 10 miles of those respective grounds, then?

  13. You missed out "chav."

    Oh, and for your information, I like being a "helmet."

    Slagging off Arsenal (when it's deserved) seems to be fine on here, but I get a rap on the knuckles if I make reference to any particular "camel jockey"... well, to one particular camel jockey.

  17. You've just reminded me of two more things that annoy (actually, annoyed would be more accurate) me about football... Jack Charlton and Ron Atkinson as commentators.

    Masters of the blinding obvious, the pair of them!

    Jack Charlton: "You're not going to score unless you get the ball in the back of the net."

    **** me, Jack! I never thought of that!

    Big Ron: "If it's off-side it won't count."

    Thanks, mate, for clearing that one up for me. I kept wondering why that tit on the side-line kept waving his flag.

    It's not for me to tell others how they should (collectively) refer to fans of other clubs but it's just something I grew out of years ago.

    I don't find Chav/Spud offensive, just annoying.

  20. I use terms like "chav" as a reaction against certain Chelsea fans' insistence on using "spud." I'd be more than happy to call a truce.

    "Mouser," however, is rhyming slang, and perfectly acceptable, in my book.
